Agreed. Not sure there are any titles in the Biblical text. At least not 
in the OT at any rate.

Well, that's not entirely fair. I suppose you could do a transChange on 
Qoheleth to indicate both Ecclesiastes or "Teacher." Not sure that would 
not be a note, but that would be editorial preference. Someone could 
want to put it "in" in the title just to annoy me. ;-)

You can have title inside of title so you could still have it there as 
an alternative title.

Not the same as transChange, could be important if you wanted to know 
all the cases where an edition has a transChange.

I spoke briefly to Steve this morning, he may call this afternoon so I 
will ask about it.
